Prosthetic socks

Between the limb and the socket

A prosthetic sock has one job: manage what happens where the residual limb meets the liner. Kilde® prosthetic socks are knitted in Coolmax® to move moisture away from that interface.

Kilde® prosthetic socks, below knee, Coolmax®

A Coolmax® interface sock for below-knee users: moisture management where the limb meets the liner.

The problem

A socket is a closed environment. Moisture builds where the skin meets the liner, and that is where volume changes, slipping and skin problems start.

Our answer

Coolmax® is chosen for moisture movement rather than insulation, and the seams are placed away from the load-bearing surface so nothing raised sits under the load.

What matters in a prosthetic sock

Moisture, not warmth, is the problem

A socket is a closed environment. Coolmax® is a moisture-moving fibre, chosen to pull damp away from the skin rather than to insulate.

Seams kept off the load path

Anything raised inside a socket becomes a pressure point within an hour of walking. Seam placement is kept away from the load-bearing surface.

A consistent thickness

Fit inside a socket depends on knowing exactly how much the sock adds. A consistent knit means the fit does not drift between pairs.

Wash and rotate

Prosthetic socks are worn against skin all day. They are made to be washed frequently and used in rotation.

Common questions

Which ply do I need?

That is a fitting question for your prosthetist — it depends on volume changes through the day and on the socket itself. Ask us for the current thickness table and bring it to your appointment.

Can it be worn with a silicone liner?

It is designed to be worn at the skin interface. Whether that sits inside or outside your liner depends on your setup; follow your prosthetist's instructions.

Do you supply prosthetic workshops?

Yes, through the KildeMedic B2B portal.

Which ply should be used?

That is a fitting decision for the prosthetist — it depends on daily volume change and on the socket. Ask us for the current thickness table and bring it to the appointment.

Inside or outside the liner?

It is designed for the skin interface, but where that sits depends on the setup. Follow the prosthetist's instructions.

Prosthetic socks are a comfort textile. Socket fit, ply selection and skin checks are the responsibility of your prosthetist — always follow their instructions.
